Beautiful Security

Book Description

Although most people don't give security much attention until their
personal or business systems are attacked, this thought-provoking
anthology demonstrates that digital security is not only worth
thinking about, it's also a fascinating topic. Criminals succeed by
exercising enormous creativity, and those defending against them
must do the same.
Beautiful Security explores this challenging subject with
insightful essays and analysis on topics that include:

The underground economy for personal information: how it works,
the relationships among criminals, and some of the new ways they
pounce on their prey

How social networking, cloud computing, and other popular
trends help or hurt our online security

How metrics, requirements gathering, design, and law can take
security to a higher level

The real, little-publicized history of PGP
